Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
this is probably just subcutaneous hematoma which is common after such injuries and there is no need to visit doctor at this point. YOu can apply cold compresses,rest and take nonsteroid painkillers. heamtoma should subside in few days. also you can apply heparin or vitamin k cream on it to facilitate hematoma resorbtion. If oyu start to feel nausea,paleness and vomtiins you should visit doctor and do ultrasound.
Wish you good health. Regards
